MK Dons keen on Akpom

MK Dons are interested in signing Nigerian forward Chuba Akpom as a replacement for Benik Afobe, who has joined Wolves on a permanent deal.

The 19-year-old Arsenal starlet, who has represented England at every junior national team cadre, is Karl Robinson’s side’s attack option as they look forward to earn promotion to the English Championship at the end of the season.

He has played on loan at Brentford and Coventry City, before he returned to Arsenal.

Akpom made his competitive debut for Arsenal in a 3–1 Premier League win over Sunderland on 14 September, 2013, when he came on in the third minute of injury time as a substitute for the injured Olivier Giroud.

He made his first premier league appearance of the current season for Arsenal on January 1, 2015, against Southampton.
